Yeah, yeah.  The cost of health care, taxes, and gasoline prices are
bound to go up quite dramatic too.  So what?  After Bush goes to Iraq,
the American working class will have their opportunity to wave the flag,
vicariously kick the butt, and feel good about themselves again -
forgetting about Enron, union busting, shrking pensions and raising
health cost.  They will be ready to vote for Bush in 2004.  I already
see that most flags and God bless Amerika stickers  in this area (Bmore
and Central PA) are mounted on pickup trucks driven by
construction-worker types.
